I like the 70's model Ford dump truck!

That dump truck was a bit of a family joke for a while.
Went down to help my brother-in-law partially clear the lot as he found it tiring jumping back and forth between the Kubota tractor and the dump truck.
I got three dumps in before it broke. Couldn't control the hydraulic ram that lifts the back.
Then we couldn't even get it started.. thought I was going to have to fly Tim in for a consult.
Turns out it was a hose problem on the ram and they were able to find a new starter and some other electrical component locally.
Kids did sneak onto the lot winter of 2010/2011 and smash the windshield.
A person should be allowed to set up leg hold traps for two legged pests.

Anyway the truck is still running, although everyone who drives it tends to hit a rock or something... it's getting beat up.

I grew up with stuff that you had to fix to keep running, I like running
old beat up equipment once in awhile, reminds me of my youth!
